“…Raoiella are the first mites genus to be observed feeding through the stomata of the host (Ochoa et al, 2011). Therefore, among morphological factors, the stomata seem to be one of the most influential factor for feeding activity of this mite.…”

“…Although palms is its main host, R. indica also has been found on many hosts, including banana and plantain (Rodrigues & Irish, 2011). This mite feeds through the stomata of the host plant causing scattered yellow spots or strong yellowish coloration on the entire leaflet (Ochoa et al, 2011). The symptoms caused by mites could be confused with lethal yellowing disease (Pena et al, 2012).…”

“…Por esto la disposición de los estomas sobre la superficie foliar pudiera tener mayor influencia en la capacidad de alimentación de R. indica sobre la planta hospedera. Ochoa et al (2011) demostraron que al momento de la alimentación, las especies de Raoiella introducen sus estiletes a través tanto de las células oclusivas del complejo estomático como de la abertura estomática, a diferencia de otras especies de la superfamilia Tetranychoidea, las cuales deben penetrar las células epidérmicas. En tal sentido, la forma, el número y disposición de los estomas pudieran afectar la capacidad de alimentación de estos ácaros.…”

“…The bottom frond leaves harbour relatively high densities of the mite than the middle and top leaves. RPM forms the first mite species reported to feed through stomata of host plants (Ochoa et al, 2011) and this specialized feeding habit would probably impair the photosynthetic and respiratory processes of the host plants. Photosynthesis, being the basis of energy gain in all ecosystems and any reduction in this process would affect the growth and productivity of plants (Zelitch, 1975).…”
